Introduction
The solution to any practical mathematics problem entails a two-part answer. The first part
Represents the ―how many, or the amount, and is always a number. This amount or magnitude
is physically meaningless without the second part, which is the unit of the solution. In
General, a unit is fixed by definition and is independent of physical conditions. Some examples
of units are the volts, ampere, ohm, degree, meter, and so on. Each of these is physical unit,
which means that it is a subject of observation and measurement.
Take, for example, the statement 115 volts; the number 115 is the amount or magnitude, and the
Term volt is the physical unit that gives the amount its meaning. Such numbers as ―115 volts
are called the concrete numbers.
Unit of Electronics
Ampere – it is the basic units of current which is abbreviated by the letter “A”.
Current – it is the flow of electrons (movement of electrons) through a conductor in a given direction.
Electronic measuring instrument – portable (moveable) instruments used to measure electrical

quantities such as current, voltage, and resistance.
Ohmmeter - an electronic instrument used to measure resistance of a component or the whole circuit
connection states. The ohm (Ω) is the physical unit of resistance of a material.
The Siemen: it is the basic units of conductance.

The conductivity of a material is the ease with which it passes electrons. Conductivity and
Resistivity of a material are inversely related by the formula (G=1/R). The unit of conductance is
The Siemen. The symbol used for the Siemen is (S).
The Watt
The watt is the unit of power or the rate of doing work in an electrical circuit. The power
converted in an electrical circuit is 1 watt when energy is converted at the rate of 1 joule-per-
second.
The coulomb
The coulomb (Q) is the unit of electrical charge. One coulomb is a charge of 6.25 X 1018
electrons.
A flow of one coulomb past a point in one second is one ampere.
Page 4 of36
The Hertz: it is the basic units of frequency which is abbreviated by “Hz”.
Frequency is the number of times an event occurs in a given period. In electrical circuits,
Frequency is usually given in cycle-per-second. By international agreement, the term Hertz (Hz)
has been adopted to mean cycle-per-second. F=1/T.
The Second
The standard unit of time is the second.
Ranges of Electrical Units
As we noted earlier, electronics is a science which uses very large and very small units, such as a
thousand-ohm resistor, a millionth-farad capacitor, a thousand million-cycles-per-second, and so
on. To save time in writing and speaking these terms, symbols have been universally adopted to
replace those most commonly used terms.
Ohmmeter scale - section of the ohmmeter where the value of the resistance is being indicated in the
form of division.
Range multiplier - a portion in the ohmmeter where the actual reading is multiplied by the range value
Resistance - the opposition to the flow of electrons.
Resistor - an electronic component that is used to offer opposition to current in an electrical circuit
Resistor color coding - a scheme to determine the value of resistors by color bands printed on their
bodies as code.
Test Probes - connectors connected to terminals of the VOM and component’s terminals or test
points in a circuit to be tested. They are oftentimes red and black in color
Tolerance - the fourth color in the 3-band color coding that indicates the percentage of deviation from
its color coded value.
Volt - basic unit of voltage which is abbreviated by the letter “V”.
Voltage - an electrical pressure that pushes for the current to flow with in a load through a conductor.
Zero-ohm adjuster - part of the ohmmeter that is used in adjusting the pointer of the ohmmeter to zero
before resistance measurements or continuity tests are made.
What is capacitor?
Capacitor is a passive electronic component that stores electrical energy in the form of electrical charge.
It is made up of two close conductors (usually plates) that are separated by a dielectric material. The
two plates accumulate electric charge when connected to power source. One plate accumulates positive
charge and the other plates accumulate negative charge.
Page 5 of36
Capacitance is the amount of electric charge that is stored in the capacitor at voltage of 1 volt. Its SI
unit (measured unit) is Farad “F”.

The SI Metric System of Measurement

The Most Common Metric Measurement of Length
A summary of the most commonly used metric measurements of length follow in below
1000 microns (µ) = 1 millimeter (mm)

10 millimeters = 1 centimeter (cm)
10 centimeters = 1 decimeter (dec)
Page 6 of36
10 decimeters = 1 meter (m)
10 hectometers = 1 kilometers (km)
Relationships between the Metric and the English Systems

The most often used units of linear measurement in the metric system are the millimeter,
centimeter, meter, and kilometer. The relationship between these units and the units of the
English system are as follows:
25.4 millimeters = 1 inch (approximately)
2.54 centimeters = 1 inch (approximately)
1 meter = 39.37 inches (approximately)
The milligram, the gram, and the kilogram are the most often used units of mass (weight) in
The metric system. The relationship between these measurements and those of the English
system are as follows:
1 kilogram = 2.205 pounds (approximately)
In electronics, measurements may be specified in either the English system or the metric
System, and for this reason we must convert from one system to the other system of
measurement.
Example 3. How many kilograms does an 80 pound television set weigh? 1 kg = 2.205 lb.
Weight in kg = 2.205 kg/lb × 80 lb = 176.4 kg (Answer)
Example 4 how many inches are there in an antenna that has a length of 30 cm?
2.54 cm = 1 in.
Length in inch=30cm/2.54cm=11.81 inch.
Example 5 A football field measures 100 yards, what is the length in meters? (1 meter =
One yard = 36 inches, therefore 1 meter = 1.0936 yards.)
100 yards x 1.0936 meters/yard = 109.36 meters

Resistors in band Variable Resistor (Rotary type)
The most commonly used electronic components in the field are known as resistors. Resistor is a
discrete component that offers opposition to the flow of current. Resistors have different types in
accordance with the material used like carbon-composition and the wire wound resistor. According to
construction, we have the fixed resistor and the variable resistor.
Resistors are very common and are the cheapest electronic components in the
market for so many years. Their features are so interesting and are very colorful. That’s why
resistors are very popular among students studying electronics.
One distinct feature of this resistance - giving component is the way its value is
determined. It uses a set of colors which follows a code for its assumed resistance expressed
in OHMS.

Information Unit of Competence Perform Measurement and Calculation
sheet # 3
Resistor color coded value is not absolute. The real resistance of the resistor is sometimes lower
or higher than its color coded value but not to exceed its tolerance level.
Tolerance is the limit on how far the real value of the resistor can deviate from its color coded
value. It can be more or less but subjected to a tolerable limit.
In the color coding chart there is a column for tolerance. Color gold is + or – 5%,
silver is + or – 10 %, and the no color means + or – 20%.
Procedure in interpreting the tolerance of resistor
1. Identify the tolerance color of the resistor being analyzed. Assuming the color is
gold which has a value of + or – 5%.
2. Convert the percentage into its decimal equivalent. 5% is equivalent to .05
3. Compute for the percentage of the color coded value. Assuming that the color
coded value is 100 ohms ± 5%. So 100 x .05 = 5
Page 20 of36
4. For the + side, add 5 to the color coded value of 100.
100 + 5= 105 ohms
That is the maximum deviation for that resistor. Beyond that, the resistor will not be fitted for
the circuit which requires such tolerance.
5. For the – side, deduct 5 from the color coded value of 100.
100 – 5 = 95 ohms
That will be the minimum deviation for that particular resistor. Far beyond that
the resistor will be considered to be defective.
Finally the value of the resistor with colors brown- black- brown – gold is 100 ohms with a deviation of
+5 or -5. (95 ohms -105 ohms).
Resistor color coding gives us the color coded value of a given resistor as well as the
maximum and minimum value as dictated by the tolerance but the actual resistance is still
unknown to us. The actual value of the resistor and the recorded data will confirm the status
of the resistor whether good or defective.
OHMMETER
Ohmmeter is a measuring instrument used to determine the resistance of a component or

equipment. This instrument is a great help in knowing the actual resistance of the resistors
we use in the two operation sheets.
The commonly used ohmmeter in electro-electrical laboratories now nowadays is

embedded in a multi-function testing instrument called the (Volt-Ohm-Milli ammeter ) VOM.
For this discussion the VOM will be used but confined only to the ohmmeter section.
Parts of an Ohmmeter
Page 21 of36
Pointer
Pointer. It is the most important part of the ohmmeter. It indicates the value of electrical quantity that
has been measured.
Ohmmeter Scale- Nonlinear scale where reading of the resistance is based. It is usually found in the
uppermost part of the VOM
Range Multiplier- The portion of the ohmmeter where the actual reading is being multiplied.
Zero Ohm Adjustment – It is the portion of the ohmmeter where it is adjusted when the pointer of the
ohmmeter fails to point to zero.
Page 22 of36
ZERO OHM ADJUST
Test Probe- Serves as the input portion of the ohmmeter. Red test probe becomes positive in
some instances, while the black one is negative.
Test Probes
PROCEDURE ON HOW TO INTERPRET RESISTANCE READING IN AN OHM METER:
Page 23 of36
An ohmmeter scale is nonlinear which means the value of one line or
calibration may not be true to other lines. It is therefore proper to assign
values to every line for proper and accurate interpretation.
As shown in the illustration, the scale can be divided into eight areas where individual
treatment has to be made. Several mathematical computations will be involved to
show the manner how values of individual
lines are resolved.
The areas involved are 0- 2, 2-10, 10 -20, 20-50, 50 – 100, 100- 200,
200 – 300, 300 – 500.
Value of 1calibration = line distance / total calibrations involved
For 0- 2:
Line distance = 2
Total no. of cal = 10
Value of 1 line =2/10 = 0.2
For 2-10:
Line Distance = 8
Value of 1line = 8/16 = 0.5
For 10-20:
Line Distance = 10
Value of 1line= 10 /10 = 1
Page 24 of36
For 20 -50:
Line Distance = 30
Value of 1 line = 30/15 = 2.0
For 50-100:
Line Distance = 50
Value of 1 line = 50/10 = 5.0
For 100 – 200:

Line Distance = 100
Value of 1 line = 100/5 = 20
For 200-300:
Line Distance= 100
Total no. of lines = 2
Value of 1 line =100/2 = 50
For 300–500:
Line Distance = 200
Total no. of cal= 2
Value of 1 line = 200/2 = 100
2. Identify the appropriate range multiplier to be used Range multiplier is from R X 1,

R X 10, R X 100, R X 1K, and R X 10K.
3. Connect the metallic part of the test probes and take note if the pointer points at
zero. If not, adjust the zero ohm adjustment to zero.

LO 4: maintain measuring instruments

Measuring instruments in electronics are confined only to analog testers and
sometimes digital millimeter. Either way the maintenance of these instruments is a
priority in all electronics laboratory rooms.
Electronic Measuring Instruments
Aside from hand tools, measuring instruments are also needed for more accurate
and quality output. In this connection, three of the most used instruments are
presented here for you to be familiar with their uses and the proper way of
maintaining them
Volt-Ohm-Millimeter. It is equipment that combines three functions: as a voltmeter that measures

both ac and dc voltages; an ohmmeter that measures resistance; and
Milli ameter that measures small amount of dc current. As safety precautions in the maintenance of
this instrument, the following should be observed:
Page 30 of36
VOLT – OHM - Millimeter
• Always rest the function switch at 250V AC, if an OFF position is not available in
the instrument.
• For current and voltage measurements, always set the function switch in the
correct setting which is a little higher than the expected current or voltage
present in the circuit.
•Place the instrument in a cool dry place, away from any magnetic devices, and
free from vibrations.
Oscilloscope. An oscilloscope (commonly abbreviated CRO, for cathode-ray oscilloscope, or
scope) is a piece of equipment that allows signal voltages to be viewed, scope usually as a
two-dimensional graph of one or more electrical potential differences(vertical axis) plotted
as a function of time or of some other voltage (horizontal axis).
Page 31 of36
OSCILLOSCOPE
Signal generator. A signal generator is a device which produces simple waveforms.
SIGNAL GENERATOR
Page 32 of36
Such devices contain an electronic oscillator, a circuit that is capable of creating a
repetitive waveform. These are typically used in simple electronics repair and design; where
they are used to stimulate a circuit under test.
Oscilloscope and signal generator should be given regular checkup for at least once a
week by connecting them to the power line. This will help prevent their components from
having moisture that might cause trouble in their circuits.
In any activity involving skills, it is a standard procedure that you must always use the right
tool or equipment properly that would fit in a particular task. In spite of this reminder or
caution, some students abuse the use of tools and still practice the following common
